Thomas Kelman Obituary

Published by The Province on Dec. 3, 2006.
KELMAN _ Thomas Gordon November 15, 1946 - November 29, 2006 Tom will be watching over his daughter Jen Kelman, twin granddaughters Hailey and Sarah; daughter Celeste Bouchard and stepdaughter Christina. He will be fondly remembered by his brother Murray Siddon and wife Shirley, their two children Gord and Holly and her three sons; Aunt Jean, cousins and a family of friends. Tom was predeceased by his parents Gordon and Connie, Uncle Dave and Aunt Louise. In October 2006 he was honoured with an Outstanding Achievement Award by the Association of Substance Abuse Programs for his work pioneering the needle exchange program on the Sunshine Coast. This program became a model for all of Canada. A celebration of his life and spirit will be held at a later date at a place of Tom's choosing. "His hands were always open for those who needed a lift up." REST IN PEACE, POPS
